[Intro]
Whoa-oh, yes

[Verse 1]
When you're feelin' lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waitin'
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you
See you through
I'll be there and there is nothing I won't do

[Chorus]
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I promise you
For you I will (Yes)

[Verse 2]
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh, these arms will be your shelter
No, these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe, I'll stand beside you, right or wrong

[Chorus]
I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean)
I will go and bring you the moon (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need (And I will be)
I will be the sun in your sky (The sun)
I will light your way for all time
I promise you
For you I will (Yeah-yeah)

[Bridge]
For you I will
Lay my life on the line
For you I will fight, oh
For you I will die
With every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my word, I'll give it all
Put your faith in me (Put your faith in me)
And I'll do anything, oh

[Chorus]
I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean)
I will go and bring you the moon (Ocean)
I will be your hero your strength (Oh, I will be your hero)
Anything you need (I will be)
I will be the sun in your sky (Oh)
I will light your way for all time (Time)
I promise you (Promise you)
For you I will (I will, I will, I will)
I will cross the ocean for you (Ooh)
I will go and bring you the moon (I'll go across)
I will be your hero your strength (Yeah)
Anything you need (Let me be your hero)
I will be the sun in your sky (Baby, yeah, baby)
I will light your way for all times (Yeah)
I promise you (I promise you)
For you I will (I will)
I promise you (Promise)
For you I will (Whoa, oh)

[Outro]
I promise you
For you I, I will
